It might be a long night for Jordan Love.
In the first quarter of Thursday Night’s game against the Detroit Lions, the refs missed an egregious call on the Packers quarterback.
While throwing the football, Love was being grabbed from behind, which was fine, but then Za’Darius Smith came in and punched him in the head area.
No flag was thrown, and the Packers would have to punt the ball away. The missed flag should’ve been an automatic first down.
